Dragon Ball Kakarot

Chapter 22

"I COULDN'T SAVE ANYONE"

Bulma cried as Chichi did her best to comfort her friend. 

Bulma: "I STILL WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH!!!"

Chichi: "You did the best you could Bulma. Sometimes that's all we can hope for"

Chichi held Bulma as her friend kept on sobbing.

Chichi: "I know Bulma"

Chichi was barely holding herself together. It had been a couple days after the battle against the Saiyans. The Z Gang. Or what remained of them were still recovering from their injuries on Kami's Lookout.

They all looked beaten.

Yet they had won. 

The Earth was safe.

But at what cost.

Piccolo.

Yamcha.

Tien.

They were all gone.

And they weren't coming back. 

Not this time.

Leaving those who survived grieving the fond memories of their fallen friends.

Chichi: "Yajirobe. Are the Senzu Beans ready?"

Yajirobe: "No. It'll be a few more hours until the next batch are grown"

Chichi looked down. She didn't know what to do. Hercule was still sleep from his injuries. Korrin said he wouldn't fully recover until he got a senzu.

Krillin: "And the people of South City. Is there anyway to bring them back. Anything!!!"

Chichi: "We don't have Dragon Balls Krillin"

Everyone was silent.

Throughout the days they had this nearly identical conversation over and over again, trying to think of anything, anyway to bring back those they had lost. But maybe it was time for them to accept reality.

Maybe they just had to move forward.

Chichi began to space out as suddenly she felt an energy spike out of no where. She paid no mind to it. But then she felt a tap on her leg.

Chichi looked down confused as in front of her was a small girl with orange hair and blue skin. 

Chichi: "W-What!?"

The girl's attention was on Krillin who was questioning on what a kid was doing all the way on Kami's tower.

???: "You don't have a nose?!"

The girl then gasped as she had a sudden realization.

???: "Krillin?!?!"

Krillin was perplexed. He had never met this girl, and it's not like he was famous. So why did she know his name. And how did she get there? All these questions were going through their minds of the Z Gang as Zangya turned her attention to Chichi.

???: "So that means your Chichi!!!"

Now the Z Gang was even more confused as the girl grabbed Chichi's hand.

???: "He talks about you guys all the time!!!"

Chichi: "He? Wait, wait, wait, how'd you get here? And who are you?"

The girl smiled.

Zangya: "My name is Zangya!!"

Chichi was still confused. However she knelt beside Zangya with a warm smile.

Chichi: "Ok Zangya, how'd you get here?"

The rest of the Z Gang came over as well

Zangya: "He used his Instant Transmission!!"

Zangya then looked around with a concerned look of her own.

Zangya: "But I don't know where he is"

"YO"

Everyone turned around hearing a familiar voice.

Zangya: "Hey!!"

Chichi stared at the man in front of him. She couldn't believe. She was frozen in utter shock as the man in front of her gave her a warm smile. 

She didn't know what to think.

Until she did.

And when she did, all she could feel was.

Anger.

Chichi glared at the man in front of her.

It was all his fault.

He called the Saiyans here.

He betrayed them.

As she clenched her fist, her mind was flooded with a wave of fury as in a mind clouded with anger she could only yell one name. 

The name of this same man.

"KAKAROT"
